One source is saying that this has 21 episodes which for a SoL anime is pretty surprising I'd say.

That source turned out to be incorrect (which is really uncommon). Now it is confirmed the series will have 12 episodes. Sorry for the confusion.

Darn it, I'd really gotten my hopes up too.

Oh well, as long as good SoL anime like these are still being made, I suppose I can't complain.

One thing I just realize is that winter is always flooded with fall leftover.

well, that's a pretty weird number..
but yeah, i'm fine with it..
even though i'm kinda wondering, why 21?
why not 24 or 26? like lucky star, nichijou, k-on!! :3

I think the new year weeks could be a factor. A lot of programs switch to special schedule during the week preceding or right after new year in Japan.

That would be amazing if it's true; I haven't seen many 2-cour shows like this recently.

Kids playing in the countryside. Precisely the theme in 'Non Non Biyori'.

Seinen? wat? You ain't fooling me, MAL.

It all depends on what kind of magazine it is serialized on. And the manga magazine that Non Non Byori is serialized on, Monthly Comic Alive, is categorized as a seinen http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monthly_Comic_Alive Note that seinen magazine does NOT always mean ecchi or fan service or violence or grimdark. It can be just an ordinary innocuous manga which somehow gets serialized in a seinen magazine.

Yes, but considering the reaction of a lot of people on here wondering why it's seinen, as I stated before it's odd that 20 year old mature dudes would take their time into watching immature little girls' daily lives. Also I know a lot of that goes on in the East, but it's just weird to me. Oh well though.

And many people would just wonder why a mature dude should even watch anime LOL

Rather then trying to patronize me, also by giving your crucial input on the series, I would like for you to remember that this is a forum; which is made for opinions. Now I actually like the studio Silver Link for anime such as Baka to Test, Sket Dance and many others that they were involved with. Just disappoints me that they are resorting to redundant moe anime, a concept that for some reasons appeal to people like you, adult males.

Aside from my supposed patronizing, I would also like to build upon your statement that this is indeed a forum: a place for discussion.

I see that you are relatively new to MAL, but if you have yet to notice, the moe hate from non-moe fans here is at a point where it's so common and annoying that us fans of it just can't talk about it or have a piece of news show up without having someone come in and telling us how weird we are for liking what we like.

As you are clearly a non-fan of the (pseudo) genre, calling all moe shows 'redundant' is a statement that, as a fan of them, sounds as silly to me as a non-shounen fan calling every shounen (including FMA, HxH, AoT, Bleach, etc.) a rehash of Naruto or the same thing every time. Each show has its own individual traits that establish it as that show and I've never once felt that any of the moe shows I've watched were remotely similar in any way.

And likewise, I also found their other anime (including the two you specifically mentioned) to be very good, but I find them to be just as worthy a time investment for Silver Link as any of the shows they're doing now or will be doing down the road.

Now do you honestly want to tell me that a male in their 20s watching elementary school girls' daily life for enjoyment isn't bit of an enigma?

As Hoppy stated above, this isn't much of an enigma at all. These things are meant to be sold to adults, so they wouldn't invest the money into it if they didn't expect lots of people to catch on and enjoy it.

Believe it or not, I'm not trying to be offensive I'm just being honest.

And true though this may be, the way you say things sounds extremely condescending, almost as if you're implying that, by liking these shows, we are somehow experiencing a fetish-like joy. Look at how you reworded the previous sentence: '...a male in their 20s watching elementary school girls' daily life for enjoyment...'

I find it hard to believe that that wasn't a subtle way of trying to say that I find some kind of joy or satisfaction in watching real little girls do things, which is of course something that no one take much joy in being accused of.

Would you really go as far as comparing a false genre such as moe to a demographic like shounen, I hope you know it is not a genre. You seem to be implying that I'm hating on you but you got it all wrong, also you seem like you're one to take offense easily. I'm not trying to condescend anyone here, I'm simply posting my response to this latest news.

Yes, but considering the reaction of a lot of people on here wondering why it's seinen, as I stated before it's odd that 20 year old mature dudes would take their time into watching immature little girls' daily lives. Also I know a lot of that goes on in the East, but it's just weird to me. Oh well though.
